BATTLE OF LIFE.
ANNIE ROBERTSON HORTON.

Think not thatall the warriors fight
Where blood dyes with crimson the field
The unknown who dare to do right
Are unhampered by warlock or shield.
When neither the trumpet nor drum
Incites the bold spirit to strife
In ranks where the victor is dumb
Waits the hardest combat of this lifel
The soldier who falls by his gun
Sleeps well beneath laurels and bays;
But unwept-how many one
Fights, conquers and dies without praise
The loyal may long to retreat
From carnage so stript of renown
But the glory is full and complete
When the soul lays its own tempter down
Only dare to be honest and brave;
Stand guard by what virtues you own;
From the cradle straight ON to the grave
Dothe right, though unseen and alone.
1t is harder to vanquish, by far,
Ones self and lifes pitiful ills
Than even to stand up in war,
Where slaughter the flesh only kills.
The wounds that are deepest must bleed,
INTENDED by surgeon or friend;
Give your arms where you see the most need
As private be firm to the end.
The lip neither falters nor boasts,
And true valor knows not of fear;
Each day sees unbroken the hosts
Who war with us ceaselessly here.
-NeU York Mercury.

The last day on which pictures can be
sent to the Paris Salon is March is, and
that is great day in the art world of
Paris. A Baltimore lady who is study
ing her art in the studio of famous
artist has written to her father in that
city the following description of the
scene:
''Not knowing what to do after the
pictures got off, and not caring much,
three of us from the studio got a cab and
started for the Exposition building, and
there we saw and heard things, that for
one shall never. forget We drove to the
entrance to the left of the Champs
Elysees, and told our coachman to station
us so that we could see all the pictures as
they entered the salon. Thewhole boule-
yard was crowded with mass of whoop-
ing and shouting students, painters and
models. Policemen were trying to keep
the obstreperous crowd back from the
street, where cart after cart drove up
with pictures framed and unframed, wet
and dry; you remember most all the
pictures are sent in this day, March Is.

ssProspectlng" THROUGH Ice.

Something novel, says mining paper, in
the way Of exploration Is carried ON by the
Cleveland mine at Ishpeming Mich. The
extreme cold formed two and one-half feet
Of ice on the surface Of Lake Angelina, when
diamond drill was taken out upon 1t and
several holes bored in the bottom Of the lake,
which resulted in finding an extension Of the
Lake Superior hematite running along on its
north shore. The lake Is surrounded ON all
sides but the west by high, precipitous bluffs
OF diorite and mixed ores. Along its south
shore Is the Lake Angeline mine; very near
the northwest end is the Superior bematite
mine. and the basin of the lake was always
supposed to contain large quantities of iron
that suppoeition to be correct. Probably no
one ever before took diamond drill on the
ice to explore the bottom of lake.

Hentlng Rallway cars.

The Engineering News, in the course Of an
ablearticle on the substitution Of steam heat
for stove heat in railway cars, shows that no
more than two and a-half to three and a-haif
per cent. of the locomotives supply of steam
Is required for heating the average train. 1t
adds thatthis quantity can be obtained with
out reducing the load, increasing the heating
surface, decreasing the speed or decreasing
the loss by radiation tits only necessary to
push the fires a little when the locomotive IS
ON level OF down grade, and to use steam
that can be spared while the train is resting

feet she appeared to be a very we'll
dressed girl of twenty to twenty-one,
lady-like looking, with very high scar
let feather In her hat in front. Her exit
from the cab right in the centre of the
boulevard naturally attracted great atten-
ton, but the height of improbability was
reached when the men locked arms over
shoulders, as the boys do at home, and
marched down the centre of the boule-
ward with the girl ON top, and she laugh
ing. We heard she was model, and her
pictures had been sent to the salon by
her four separate friends. While they
all rejoiced together her spirits grew
high, and jumping down with the agility
of ballet-dancer she danced and skipped
along the boulevard till policeman tried
to arrest her, only to let her off with a
caution. They resumed their triumphal
march, she still skipping along. The
crowds grew larger and more spirited as
the afternoon wore on, and the pictures
piling in faster and faster, we, fea-

more truly a big hall, for place becomes "a

side in rows. In order to get their share OF
trade they have to offer especial inducement.
One will be fitted like palace, the next will
have female walters, the next will employ
vocalists to sing to the customers, and just
now two are advertising alarge milk punch
and a sandwich for ten cents"
The lodging-houses form very peculiar
feature among the sights on the Bowery.
There are fifty or sixty of these on OF close
to this strange avenue and they rent beds in
little wooden closets at from twenty-five cents
down to ten cents night. Undoubtedly
there are many honest young men in these
human honeycombs every night, youths out
Of work or newly arrived and seeking work,
but under the law they are classed as va
grants and they give the police great deal
to do. You can imagine the influence OF
these places when you know that they rent
beds to 800, 900 dodgers in the course of year
and that many of these dodgers are living
in idleness and crime. They used to be con
sidered by the police as limited to the meanei
kinds of crime, such as snatching pennies
from the hands Of children, robbing drunken
men, begging, selling fraudulent jewelry
stealing from the fronts of stores and so on
but within few days it has been discovered
that at least one organized band of burglar
was composed of these dodgers and mem
perate assassin who shot down the poor clerk
Mr.. Weeks, in Brooklyn while engaged in
robbing his modest little home.
